Our main objective is finding life in our solar system, & neighboring solar systems.
We will deploy projects in our solar neighborhood, projects we don’t expect to return back to Earth in our generation, however our descendants will benefit from such projects because they will return back in their time, and this is the best gift folks we can give our future generations; To come.
By year 2013 we will launch our first satellite, destination: Titan estimated to take over 3 years cruising towards a lunar which is Earth-like next to planet Saturn.
Although this is incredibly cool and inspiring, I can’t help but think that Africa should have other priorities right now – like meeting basic human rights and needs. Dreams are how we’ve evolved from living in caves to today’s modern technology, but that was a gradual process. You can’t just go from farming coffee straight to space exploration, especially when you’re in one of the poorest and least technologically inclined areas of the world.
Looking at the information posted on the ASRP website (pronounced ass-rape?), it looks like none of the people involved in the space project have any experience building aircraft (or flying in them), their main hope being that God will guide them in their endeavor. Now not to be negative here, but with God’s expertise their space vehicle will just blow up on the “launchpad” and kill someone. That, or it will be as dumb-looking as this Somali-built “helicopter.”
But things get even sillier, because the ASRP will “certify” the astronauts itself and use the winged canoe below to send them to their deaths into space. Reminds me of when I was a little kid pretending the Christmas tree is a space shuttle.
